You got 4 genuine non performers back then. This squad is a massive upgrade. We need to be a bit smarter especially Gill & Iyer. it was terrible back then. however, I would rather take 2019 dhawan over 2023 Flashy Gill Link to comment

NZ are an excellent efficient unit where everybody contributes ...but NZ lacks the explosive match winners to destroy a team. We will beat Aus in Mumbai. Link to comment

We will beat Aus in Mumbai. you are predicting Choker Kings (SA) to beat Chokers Lite (NZ)? that will be amusing Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 We have to bite the bullet and wait for transition in order to get batsmen who can bowl and bowlers who can bat. It is what it is. We just have to hope 2 of the top 6 step up. Vijy 1 Link to comment
deathmonger Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 gill/iyer have both hit a 50 each and have looked decent. need them both to have a big knock before the KOs though.even pandya and jadeja. Link to comment
bsriharsha Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Every other team is having major issues as well. I think the balance of the team will be alright when Hardik returns and Iyer is dropped for a left hander Bowling lineup of Hardik , Jadeja , Kuldeep , Shami , Bumrah , (Siraj/Ashwin) might be workable. If we are intent on 5 specialist bowlers (Including Jadeja/ Hardik as allrounders), we might need someone like Rohit / Iyer / Kohli etc rolling their hand over for 3-4 overs at times. Link to comment

cowboysfan Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Bowlers are the one winning us the games in the WC if you look at how other team are getting tonked consistently.I say bring in Hardik back but replace Shardul with Shami and we have the most potent bowling attack in the WC.If one of the top 5 is having a bad day then Hardik is there to cover.
